Re: [haflingerfriends] Re: World Haflinger Federation breed standard minimum heig...

I have heard/read that (at least in some countries) the decision had to be made almost from birth (because animals intended for the human food chain "should" have more limits on what drugs and such can be administered - which has always caused me to wonder about the "safety" of US horses shipped to ultimately grace European tables, not to mention the conversion of euthanized horses into pet food). If you have to decide that early, I don't see how you can know what the mature height will be with any surety (had a grade filly once that measured 13 hands at 10 months and never grew beyond 14)

How do you know this ?????
As a European it does make me a bit cranky when (yet again) unsubstantiated rumours are spread about how people outside US treat their horse.
